Abstract

Pd2Si films were grown epitaxially onto Si(111) substrates by scanning electron-beam annealing of deposited Pd films. Single phase silicide formation and epitaxial growth were studied by Nomarski optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction analysis, and Rutherford backscattering and channeling techniques. The crystalline quality of the electron-beam-annealed Pd2Si films was weakly dependent on annealing conditions and somewhat worse than that of furnace-annealed films.
